Unionen is a Swedish white-collar trade union.

The union was formed on 1 January 2008, when the Swedish Union of Commercial Salaried Employees merged with the Swedish Union of Clerical and Technical Employees in Industry.Kjellberg, Anders (2008) [http://lup.lub.lu.se/luur/download?func=downloadFile&recordOId=1144977&fileOId=1144984 Ett nytt fackligt landskap bland tjänstemännen: Unionen och Sveriges Ingenjörer] Tam-Revy no 1 2008, pp. 4-21 Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees.
